Create and Configure an Enterprise Server Region

Overview

In this tutorial, you create an enterprise server with the Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS), configure it for the ACCT application, and run the application under Enterprise Server/MSS.

Create an Enterprise Server

Enterprise Server comes with a pre-configured enterprise server named ESDEMO. However, it is not configured for Mainframe Subsystem Support (MSS). Therefore, you must create a new
enterprise server region configured for MSS for the CICS application.

In Eclipse, open the Server Explorer view.

If it is hidden, click
Window > Show View > Other. Expand
Micro Focus, click
Server Explorer and then
OK.

You should be see the default directory server connection
Local [localhost:86] in the view. If it is not visible, to display it:

Right-click in the Server Explorer window, and click
New > Directory Server Connection.

Type
localhost in both the
Name and the
Server address (IP/Hostname) fields.

Leave the port as the default value of
86 and click
Finish.

Right-click
Local [localhost:86] in Server Explorer, and click
New > Enterprise Server.

This starts the
New Enterprise Server dialog box.

Type
ESACCT into the
Name field.

Leave the
64-bit box unchecked.

Click the
Browse button next to the
Template field.

This opens the location of the
Enterprise Developer server templates.

Double-click
CICSTemplate.xml to select it.

On the New Enterprise Server dialog box, check
ACCT in the
Associate with projects box; then click
Finish.

This creates the ESACCT server and adds it under the
Local [localhost:86] directory server connection in Server Explorer.

Start the ESACCT Enterprise Server Region

Now, you need to start the
enterprise server region that you have created and configured.

If the list of
enterprise server regions is not showing in the Server Explorer, expand
Local [localhost:86].

Right-click the
ESACCTenterprise server region; then select
Start from the context menu.

Note: If you see the
Enterprise Server Sign On dialog box, click
OK without filling in any details; then click
No when prompted to create a master password. Also, allow access for the Micro Focus Communications Process, if you receive a Windows Security Alert.

The
Console view shows the output from the Enterprise Server console log. It also shows that the server has started.

In Server Explorer, right-click
ESACCT; then select
Show Console Log from the context menu.

The
Console view shows the details from the Enterprise Server console log.
